Depression is a common and serious disorder. Every year, depression affects 10% of adult Americans over age 18. Depression takes a big toll in suffering and can lead to suicide in severe cases. Family, friends, health, work or school can all be seriously impacted by the disease. However, depression is very treatable. There is hope.
For those who have already been diagnosed with depression and are in treatment, we want to help you learn as much as you can about depression and to offer you support in your recovery. We want to give you up-to-date information about what depression is (and what it isn't). There are some common myths about depression that aren't correct.
We believe that the more you understand about depression and issues like medications, the more likely you are to get the full benefit of treatment.
Finally, if you feel depressed but haven't been diagnosed with depression, read the information here anyway. It may help you to decide to see a doctor or mental health therapist for evaluation and/or treatment.
Sponsor Message:The Pain of DepressionAs you’ve seen on TV, depression can have both emotional
and painful physical symptoms. Learn about what you can do.
